London: Printed for T. Hookham, Jun. & Co, 1822. Hardcover. The author was an advocate of a gentle approach to child rearing for both genders. He seems to argue in favor of higher education for women, but only if accompanied by vigorous physical exercise to counterbalance the "actions of the intellectual functions": "our great object therefore in conducting the education of females ... is to modify the action of the brain by communicating greater and more regular movements to the animal system" (p182).
